Africatown Launch Ceremony
Philadelphia City Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson, Second District presented a $125,000 check to the African Cultural Alliance of North America (ACANA) on Friday, May 21, to help with the planning and design of a future “Africatown” in Southwest Philadelphia.
“Creating a section of Philadelphia that honors and celebrates the contributions of Africans and Caribbean people in Philadelphia is a good thing, and I am happy to have been able to find financial support from the City of Philadelphia for ACANA’s Africa Town Project,” Johnson said.
